In order to save their lives, the Xiang Family had given up all their territory. Right now, the Ba Mountain Sword Sect was their only hope.
Chen Jiankong thought for a moment. He stood up and helped the Xiang Family patriarch up. He chuckled and said, "Brother Xiang, you do not have to be like this. You and I are in-laws. If something happens to the Xiang Family, the Ba Mountain Sword Sect will not ignore it."
The Xiang Family patriarch hurriedly thanked him with tears of gratitude, but inside, he was sneering.
If the Xiang Family had not taken out all their trump cards this time, Chen Jiankong most likely would not have chosen to protect the Xiang Family.
Seeing this, Teacher Cen hurriedly said, "Sect leader, no! If we choose to protect the Xiang Family and become enemies with the Hidden Demon Clan, even if the Purple Sky Lightning Sword Formation can stop Lin Ye, what if it attracts more experts from the hidden sects? "
Chen Jiankong said coolly, "Then it will be easy. If the Hidden Demon Clan dares to send so many experts, the other righteous sects will not ignore it.
Also, I am preparing to send a letter to the Celestial Master Abode.
In Red Maple Valley, Lin Ye killed thousands of people with vicious methods. I believe the Celestial Master Abode has received the news long ago.
If Lin Ye dares to come, I believe the Celestial Master Abode will not stand by. After all, the Ba Mountain Sword Sect has some relations with the Celestial Master Abode. "
Hearing Chen Jiankong say this, Teacher Cen could not say anything more. But he felt slightly uneasy.
The sect leader had been too careless, especially putting his hopes on the Celestial Master Abode.
It was true that the Celestial Master Abode had relations with the Ba Mountain Sword Sect. Right now, the protective formation of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, the Purple Sky Lightning Sword Formation, had been set up by the Celestial Master Abode and the experts of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect.
But later, the relationship between the Ba Mountain Sword Sect and the Celestial Master Abode had faded. For a period of time, the power of the Celestial Master Abode had declined greatly, and the Ba Mountain Sword Sect had produced an expert who comprehended the time sword path, so they were no longer so respectful to the Celestial Master Abode.
But now, the Celestial Master Abode had risen again, and the Ba Mountain Sword Sect had returned to its original state. Would the Celestial Master Abode respond if they asked for help now?
However, Chen Jiankong had already made up his mind, so it wasn't appropriate for Teacher Cen to say anything further.
Ten days later, at the foot of Ba Mountain, Chu Xiu brought Luo Sancong and Zhao Chengping back to West Chu. He immediately brought people to Ba Mountain.
The Hidden Demon Clan had their own intelligence network. When Chu Xiu had hurried to the West Chu, someone had sent news to Chu Xiu that the Ba Mountain Sword Sect had decided to protect the Xiang Family. At this time, all the members of the Xiang Family were in the Ba Mountain Sword Sect.
When Chu Xiu received the news, he was very surprised. Were Chen Jiankong and the elders of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect stupid? He actually made such a decision.
In the battle at Red Maple Valley, Chu Xiu had exposed all of his power. Ba Mountain Sword Sect should know what they were capable of.
Among the major sects in the songs of the martial world, Ba Mountain Sword Sect had been around for a long time, and could almost be ranked in the top. But in terms of power, while Ba Mountain Sword Sect was not the weakest, it was at the bottom.
As long as Chen Jiankong wasn't muddle-headed, he ought to know exactly what sort of price Chu Xiu would pay to protect the Xiang Clan, yet he still chose to do this. So, either Chen Jiankong was really stupid, or there was some secret that Chu Xiu wasn't aware of that caused Chen Jiankong to take the risk to protect the Xiang Clan.
But what it was was not important. In front of absolute power, Chu Xiu could choose not to use his brain.
In Chu Xiu's view, in this situation, he did not need schemes, and could use his fists to solve the problem.
Looking at the grand and beautiful Ba Mountain, Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "The scenery of Ba Mountain is really good. The Ba Mountain Sword Sect has chosen a treasured land."
At the side, Luo Sancong also sighed in agreement. Zhao Chengping felt slightly awkward. Treasured land, why did it sound like a tomb? While it could be put here, but coming from Lin Ye's mouth, he felt it was not a good thing.
Chu Xiu and the others did not disguise their tracks. He led two hundred people up Ba Mountain and headed straight for the Ba Mountain Sword Sect at the peak.
The Ba Mountain Sword Sect had detected such a brazen presence long ago. The Ba Mountain Sword Sect disciples guarding the middle of the mountain did not even dare to stop them, and immediately ran to report to the sect leader in terror.
When Chu Xiu came to the gates of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, the two Ba Mountain Sword Sect disciples holding swords did not flee in panic like the people on the mountain, but they both trembled in terror.
The Ba Mountain Sword Sect was a major sect among the songs of the jianghu. Their disciples should not be so cowardly.
However, Chu Xiu's bloodlust during this period of time was a little too great. The battle at Red Maple Valley had directly buried the lives of over a thousand martial artists. Furthermore, they weren't just random people, but the true elites of several dozen factions.
Chu Xiu waved his hand, and the people behind him stopped.
Chu Xiu said coolly to the two people, "Please report that Lin Ye of the Hidden Demon Faction has come to visit Chen Jiankong and Sect Leader Chen of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect."
Seeing Chu Xiu be so polite, the two Ba Mountain Sword Sect martial artists stilled.
Before, they had thought that this person who had killed so many recently would be a vicious person who would attack as soon as he came. They had not expected the other to be so polite.
After a moment, the two disciples immediately turned around and wanted to report to Chen Jiankong.
But before they could take a few steps, Chen Jiankong, who had received the news, arrived.
Chu Xiu casually bowed to Chen Jiankong and said, "Sect Leader Chen, it is our first time meeting. Nice to meet you."
In reality, in terms of age, cultivation, and experience, Chen Jiankong was a senior. Chu Xiu's attitude was slightly disrespectful, very disrespectful.
But both Chu Xiu's subordinates and the people of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect felt that Chu Xiu's attitude was normal. With Chu Xiu's strength and what he had done, no one present would treat Chu Xiu as a junior.
Chen Jiankong bowed to Chu Xiu and said, "I have long heard of Young Master Lin's name. Seeing you today, you are extraordinary."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Sect Leader Chen, let's not waste words. You should know why I have come this time."
Chen Jiankong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Ye didn't come knocking on his door. Instead, he spoke in a calm manner.
He had been afraid that Lin Ye was a madman who only knew how to kill without caring about anything. That would be difficult to deal with.
But now it seemed that Lin Ye was reasonable. Since that was the case, it would be much easier to negotiate.
So Chen Jiankong smiled and said, "I know what you mean, Young Master Lin. In truth, the Ba Mountain Sword Sect also feels great regret about what happened three hundred years ago.
While our standpoints are different, I admire the five great Skyfiends of the Nine Sky Mountain for daring to fight one against many. Their unwavering spirit is something I admire.
The grievances between the Xiang Family and the Hidden Demon faction happened three hundred years ago. To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with the current Xiang Family.
But there is truth in the saying that the karma of the past must be repaid by the present. The Xiang Family is willing to give eighty percent of their wealth to buy their lives. They only hope that the Hidden Demon faction will let them go this time. "
While Chen Jiankong had promised to protect the Xiang Family, their opponent was the entire Hidden Demon faction.
Even if he was confident he could stop the people in front of him, he was not confident he could stop the other Hidden Demon experts from taking revenge.
So if he could use some external items to get over this matter, that would be the best thing.
But Chu Xiu shook his head without hesitation. "Impossible. Elder Wei Shuya said that blood must be paid with blood. If the Xiang Family does not want anyone to die, they must get over this matter. It is not so simple.
However, since Sect Leader Chen has spoken, I can give you some face.
The Xiang Family does not need everyone to pay with blood. The ancestor of the Xiang Family once killed twenty-three disciples of the Hidden Demon faction. The enmity of the past must be repaid tenfold. Now, as long as the Xiang Family chooses two hundred and thirty disciples to commit suicide, I will let the Xiang Family go this time. Right, among those who commit suicide, there must be the patriarch of the Xiang Family. "
Feeling Chu Xiu's gaze drift towards him, the patriarch of the Xiang Family felt a chill and hurriedly hid behind Chen Jiankong.
Chen Jiankong frowned. "Young Master Lin, you are making things difficult. What is the difference between doing this and destroying the Xiang Family? If eighty percent of their wealth is not enough, then the Xiang Family is willing to hand over all their wealth. The Ba Mountain Sword Sect is also willing to mediate and give Young Master Lin a few sword formations as compensation. Is this possible? "
For a small family like the Xiang Family, although they had a lot of people, they only had a little more than a hundred direct descendants. If all of them committed suicide, the entire Xiang Family wouldn't be enough to kill. What was the difference between this and exterminating the entire family?
Chu Xiu stretched out a finger, shook his head, and said, "Sect Leader Chen, you seem to be mistaken about something. I'm not discussing with you, nor am I bargaining with you.
I have no grievances with your Ba Mountain Sword Sect. You came out, and I gave you face. I did not let the Xiang Family die too badly, and not let the entire Xiang Family die. This is my explanation to you. I gave you face.
Now, I have given you face, but you do not accept it. Then do not blame me for speaking harshly. Today, the Xiang Family must die, must be destroyed. There is no room for discussion.
The Ba Mountain Sword Sect had better not participate in this matter. Otherwise, you will also die miserably. "
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Jiankong's countenance instantly turned crimson red, and it was an expression of explosive rage.
The other Ba Mountain Sword Sect warriors also showed a hint of anger.
Previously, they had felt that this Lin Ye was not arrogant, and would at least be reasonable.
Only now did they realize that this fellow was talking about bullsh * t reason. He was simply too arrogant!
Chen Jiankong shouted angrily, "Lin Ye! Do not go too far! You killed enough people in the battle of Red Maple Valley. Now, you want to kill everyone in the Ba Mountain Sword Sect? The Ba Mountain Sword Sect is not a place you can do as you please! "
